I forgot I had MLK day off over and over again. Which is kind of a problem because it means I am missing a deadline (oops), but it also meant I had this magical free day with no plans or priorities.
I have a tendency of letting a day like this slip away in front of the TV or (way worse) facebook. The secret is never getting comfortable.
The day started with eggs and planning.
First things first: If you are not cooking your eggs in coconut oil, you are doing yourself a grave disservice. Everything should be cooked in coconut oil, it is so good.
Then I took a massive organizational project. I managed to go through the pantry, the guest room closet, and my closet with only a brief break to sit with Hazel and watch the end of Tommy Boy.
I am giving myself a bit of a respite because I started watching Top of the Lake and it has confused me enough to require a sit down (also because it was time for lunch). I will get through another episode (Maybe it will make sense after another one? Why is British TV so complicated?) and have picked out a dinner recipe before conquering one of our storage closets and the pile of recycling.
The secret is to not sit. The minute I sat down I got sucked into a vortex of being seated. While I kept myself moving it was easy enough to keep moving.
Movies are better than TV. Movies end and remind you to keep working. Finish a project before starting another one. Drinking tea helps. Take a break every now and then to rub your cat down with a dryer sheet (so static-y!).
Feeling productive feels so much better than sleeping in the long run. Happy day off!
